It's typically a US chain practice, but I see it in Canada since we have plenty of Walmarts and Costcos and the like here, I did see it at Hudson's Bay do it on at least one occasion. Not sure about Europe, not common in Japan since their return policies are different and final sale products tend to use a sticker instead.
On lemmy.ca we have semi-active Hockey pages, especially due to the playoffs, check out !hockey@lemmy.ca, and some of the team pages get occasional posts. The advantage of being a lemmy.ca user is that you will encounter small sports team and small Canadian city page posts more often in local feed.
I think before a Buffalo Bills page takes off we need a relatively active American football page. But sports commentary is not very intriguing to me and feels very formulaic: "Go [team name] Go", "Coach [name] sucks", "Next season we've drafted [name] to our team", etc. etc.
Serious answer: Many stores have their price end in 6 or 8 to indicate items that are final sale. So it is clearance as in they don't want it back, but really the price didn't nominally change.
In Japan they have two types of dates, which map to "Use by" and "Best before", but they don't use them interchangeably or some vague middle-of-the-road term like "expiry date". One is operative, the other is a recommendation.
消費期限 (shouhi-kigen) literally means "consumption time limit" and 賞味期限 (shoumi-kigen) literally means "guarantee of taste time limit".
Pretty much the reality is that a new election immediately is not in the NDP's interest. They don't have to be in lock-step for anything other than confidence motions and Liberals can support shop between any of the parties for at least 2 votes.
If the company could stop making new Coke flavours then killing off popular ones more often than Netflix series or Google chat apps, it would be appreciated.
Okay I see. I wasn't sure if they were passing leased cars as new, but it sounds like they didn't do that and instead were just removing artificial paywalls when they took it back to extract more cash.
I would like more unity with people who share alignment with me. Except for anyone who has a slightly different opinion than me on certain issues, screw those people.
I've been avoiding Loblaw stores and Walmart for a couple years now.
There are many big chains, I'm a bit sad to give up Costco when my membership lapses to boycot US but I will go to saveonfoods and my local markets instead.
The courts have the final say in a judicial recount. Even if the reason the vote wasn't counted wasn't the voter's mistake, unless it is part of a case, in the eyes of a court it might as well be someone waving junk mail with a sticker on it.
A separate case challenging the result due to these irregularities can be brought which could end in a different outcome, but as far as things are currently, the regular election process is complete.
Right but only some are the government targeting a price (e.g. the lower downpayment for mortgages under $1.5million), but the bid to build housing does not have a similar target or parameter for housing prices on the market, since ostensibly the crown corp built housing will be a mix of market rate apartments and condo units, below market rate apartments, and supportive housing.
Probably the answer is in the sense that the government's focus should not be where the prices should be but whether there are sufficient homes people can house themselves in.
Journalists across the country and the world right now are grilling everything Carney and his team are doing, trying to catch them in a lie or something despite just being elected this past month. To be fair it's their job to ask hard-hitting questions that people want answered but I find their questions' focus frequently misplaced (e.g. asking Carney about stuff Trump talks about).
It's been about 3/4 of a year since I have stopped hearing excuses about how the life-supporting infrastructure, facilities and children Israel is attacking is somehow Hamas.
Now in the last couple months, Israel seems to have dropped most pretenses and are clearly stating plans to annex Gaza and kill its former inhabitants en masse. Ceasefires have been proposed, agreed to mutually then broken by Israel. Those facts have finally percolated to our institutions which is why I think you are seeing more negative action.
